"By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's."

If we can take his track record for predicting technology, I think its safe to say we are in pretty good shape.

Krugman is a fool, not to mention a bigot. I'm glad to see that such is provable through his past statements (not that I can't excuse a rouge mistake if that's all this is, but I don't think so).

The same guy who advocates for hyperinflation has no standing on the Bitcoin issue.
